Joe Tibbets, of Southwest Solar Adobe, is an authority on all things involving earth building. He is a fine artist in other materials; oils, water color, etc., but it is his artistic talents using his pencil, and t-square, reinforced with his vast knowledge of earth structures that has made our adobe home a possibility. Given my rough idea of layout, Joe went to work.
After months of agonizing over every little detail and trimming unnecessary fluff we have our adobe home plans. These plans have been made available to the public through Southwest Solar Adobe. SWSA has some very kind things to say about them at the following link: http://www.adobebuilder.com/solar-adobe-house-plan-1870.html We invite you to visit that site for a very comprehensive write-up of the plan's features. If you would like a more detailedversion of the floor plan you can click here. We wanted a small home but with enough living space to spread out a little and with plenty of storage. Also, we wanted to take advantage of all that New Mexico sunshine to warm us in the winter. Check, check and check. With permits in hand, we can now begin the construction process.
